Now that I think of it, he could be using it to refer to a person who is the habit of "narcing", or reporting suspicious activity among acquaintances to the authorities, rather than an undercover officer.

well that meaning of the word is a metaphor comparing people who do that to undercover narcotics officers reporting their "friends" for illegal drug use. so yes, the second meaning is what he meant, but you need to know the first meaning to understand the second.

I kinda meant Poncho there... since Elaine left him under the boxes.

Am I the only one who thinks it's awesome that the all the reaction the dude gave (instead of "EEEIIIIK WOLF") to finding out the wolf owned the house is "Oh" ?

I think he's assuming Jack is a dog. Jack is pretty short and scrawny compared to Miles so it'd be easier to pretend to be a domestic. Or as Rick suggested before, say he's a Tamaskan Dog

Hmm, a request list ... seems legit.*shifty eyes*

Eh, if the owner of a junk shop is in the middle of repairing something a request list wouldn't seem unusual... Jack's demeanor doesn't seem to inspire trust though.

Edit: There is something about panel 3 that keeps poking at a memory but I can't figure out what it reminds me of.

Ah, craigslist. I have bought many great, cheap items off of you. I do enjoy that site. It got me my job!

I am ashamed to say I would have fallen for this one....

_________________My charactersEverybody has a story to tell. What's yours?

dude, why would a junk shop have flatscreen anyway? WHO THROWS OUT FLAT SCREENS???

I always got a kick out of this... "Flat screens" have been around longer than most people think, and in another style that has largely been forgotten. Just before LCD and Plasma started getting (relatively) cheap, there was a large campaign to sell "flat screen" picture tube tv's.

As you can see, it's basically a regular picture tube television with a flat screen instead of the regular rounded glass screen. The claim was that the flat screen produced a better quality image because it didn't distort the image from the lens effect that regular tv's had. But as time went on, LCD and Plasma got cheaper, and many of these "flat screen" tv's were thrown to the curb.

Dear Rick, can I ask, why we have seen the face of "random guy"? In all previous stripes people were no-faced (with a little exception of King... but it's King!). Is it a part of this new style, or the guy will participate in a longer story? And... if there is nothing important behind, does this mean that we will see facec of other humans?

as was stated above, we have seen other human faces. primarily the theives in the Aztec Gold arc. at this point it's mostly only the pets' parents who we don't see the faces of, and that's cause it would ruin the mystery to see them after having them hidden for so long.

Limmerick man, while mysterious and with hair all over his face, can be seen quite clearly too!

I wonder how many eyes they have.

Yep. It's not like Rick doesn't hide the face just as much as he shows it, for both major or minor characters. Never.

Actually, the consignment shop down the road from me takes requests, especially on items that arrive and subsequently disappear frequently. That's how I got my wife a jewelry armoire, gave the lady my name and phone number and when the next two of them came in, she gave me a call and I came in and bought it.
